Iceman has appeared as a playable character in a surprising number of video games in the past, including both X-Men Legends games and all three Marvel Ultimate Alliance games . Similarly, to Colossus, Iceman’s ability to encase himself in ice could add an opportunity for Epic Games to add multiple skin options for Iceman. His iconic ice slide ability could also make for an interesting glider option, allowing him to ice slide down from the Battle Bus and into the

With many new Fortnite skins and characters being teased this season, it is extremely exciting to see where Epic decides to go next with its massive battle royale. This season has been extremely successful for Fortnite , with this latest chapter including many new skins, mechanics, and a map. As the snow melts and Tilted Towers finally thaws out, many players will most definitely be enjoying the events and skins of this new, definitive season of **Fortnite

As X-Men team members go, none are more deserving of a spot in Fortnite’s roster as Cyclops. Not only does he help define what it is to be a member of the X-Men, but he also has two members of his family already in Fortnite . His son, Cable is playable in Fortnite already, and his wife, Jean Grey, was recently added as Dark Phoenix. Cyclops’ optic blast could not only make for a cool emote, but a limited-time visor weapon could allow players to utilize his optic blasts in com

Often referred to as the heart of the X-Men, Kitty would make a fantastic addition to Fortnite’s roster of playable heroes. Kitty also had a romantic relationship with Peter Parker in the Marvel Ultimate Universe and could team up with him once again since Spider-Man recently joined Fortnite . Also, since Kitty rarely travels without her trusty dragon, Lockheed, it could be the perfect opportunity for Epic Games to make an accompanying pet for the h

Unreal is owned now by Epic Games, so this change doesn’t seem particularly surprising, but it’s still important nonetheless, as Fortnite: Chapter 3 runs entirely on the upgrade. The company is heavily marketing the improvements to large open-world games and detail-oriented realism with revisions of the lighting system and world generation. Fortnite still being one of the most played free-to-play games means that the engine has to run on high-end systems and low, so the SLG game strategy running flawlessly despite varying PC and console builds is import

Earlier this December, **Fortnite ** upgraded its engine to Unreal Engine 5 from 4. Unreal Engine 4 already had ray tracing and a complex particle effect system that helped create polished graphics for Fortnite , but the upgrade has important features that game developers outside of Epic Games are also taking advantage of. The Matrix Awakens and Senusa’s Saga: Hellblade II were both shown off at The Game Awards and showcase the high level of detail games can achieve with the new eng

Epic also added a brand new first-person ADS rifle in Chapter 3 , as well as a brand new arsenal of weapons. Known as the MK-Seven, this assault rifle is a beast to use in-game, with the sights going into first-person POV when being aimed down. This is very similar to PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, which has had this kind of mechanic since day one. It will be exciting to see Fornite add more weapons similar to the MK-Seven, as it can be a game-changer in com

This is a weapon that might be a must-have for some players, especially with its fair recoil, great accuracy, incredible damage, and consistent rate of fire – all of which provide players with a satisfying Assault Rifle that only one player per match can cl

Iceman is one of the original five members of the X-Men team (along with Cyclops, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl/Jean Grey), and is one of the team’s most powerful members. Bobby Drake has the ability to create ice (which he can use as a weapon or a shield for his body), which would fit in perfectly with Fortnite ‘s new icy map . As an Omega Level Mutant, Iceman’s powers are unmatched in their field, with his ability to create ice being nearly limitless. Unlike the other four original members of the X-Men, Iceman has little respect for authority and uses his own moral compass to guide his actions. While many of his enemies tend to underestimate him due to his jokester personality and devil-may-care attitude, when Iceman feels a cause or mission is important, there is no better hero for the

The only Sniper Rifle so far in Chapter 6 Season 2 is the Falcon Eye Sniper, and the Mythic variant provides even further damage output than the previous incarnations found throughout the map. As a Mythic variant, it’s no surprise that the damage is much higher, but the Falcon Eye Sniper still suffers somewhat due to its recoil and damage out

This list only scratches the surface of X-Men characters that could join Fortnite. Other favorites like Beast and Nightcrawler would also make great additions, along with classic X-Men villains like Magneto and Sabretooth. The only downside to the inclusion of Marvel fans’ favorite mutant heroes as skins in Fortnite is that players won’t have access to any of their mutant abilities in-game. While this is understandable considering how overpowered these abilities would be in Fortnite , it would still be cool to see some of the characters using those abilities in combat. Perhaps limited time modes or weapons could make their inclusion a possibility. Regardless of whether they have their abilities or not, seeing more X-Men heroes being included in _Fortnite _ would be a dream come true for many fans of both franchi

While Jean Grey fans were no doubt excited by her surprise appearance in Fortnite , Jean is more than just the Dark Phoenix, and Fortnite should acknowledge that by giving Jean her own skin, separate from her Phoenix Force that she has always struggled to control. While it would be fantastic to see a green version of her Phoenix costume as an alternate selectable skin, it would be even cooler to see her take on the mantle of Marvel Girl once again, as she has in the comics. Her green and gold dress or her X-Men Red costume would make for great skins in Fortn

For CPU processing, Unreal Engine 5 now lets developers create games that can take advantage of up to 64 cores. More processing power usually equates to higher frame rates, but not significantly so for Fortnite specifically. This change will not be worth it for all but the most dedicated players due to the prohibitive price of CPU cores, but it is worth mentioning as it still lets Fortnite and all Chapter 3’s new updates run at even higher performance when working in creative m

Fortnite Chapter 2 ended with the Cube Queen opening up an Avengers -like portal to space which brought about UFOs from previous seasons. As the Cube Queen unleashed chaos with aliens, Sideways monsters, and cubes, the players, also known as “loopers” in the cinematics, were saved by Jonesy and the Foundation, who was revealed to be played by actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson . At the end of the cinematic, the bunker the players have to hunker down in is flooded, causing everyone to rush out into the open ocean and witness a cinematically beautiful shot of the island being flipped upside down. As the player is stranded at sea, the portal to space closes, leaving a couple of UFOs behind, and the Cube Queen is defeated, revealing the new map as the other side of the isl

With Fortnite feeling as new as ever , Chapter 3’s island manages to feel brand new despite having a good amount of areas and assets from Chapters 1 and 2. The map features four biomes, each with their own unique areas and NPC’s to discover. The desert biome feels a lot like the original desert area from Chapter 1, but rockier and canyon-like. Two brand new locations, Chonker’s Speedway and Condo Canyon, are some areas the player can land at this biome. The snowy tundra biome takes more than half of the map and has a tease that is exciting to many Fortnite veterans. Iconic landing spot, Tilted Towers, seems to freeze under the snow and will most likely thaw out as the season goes by. Chapter 1 locations Greasy Grove and Shifty Shafts have made a return this season as well. The rest of the landing spots are brand new locations such as Sleepy Sound and Camp Cuddle. These new locations are a sure way to bring in tons of new and returning players to the g
